Sororities for adults

[Rain Man]

Here are a few adult sororities with a non-Caucasian origin:

Eta Phi Beta Sorority

Delta Rho Sorority

[AGPhiBete]

I'm just reading through this thread and i noticed a whole lot of confusion regarding Phi Beta Psi. We are a real, national organization. There must have been a mix up with the website, because the website currently, and did when I was initiated over a year ago, feature National Officers, so I don't know WHAT happened there. My only thought is that maybe, since our organization allows its members to concurrently hold membership in another organization, so long as the other organization is not another NONCOLLEGIATE sorority, maybe the pictured women on the website were both Alpha Phi's and Phi Betes?

My chapter is made up exclusively of college students who do not have Greek Life on their campuses. As far as defining 'Adult', Phi Beta Psi is open to 'any woman with high moral standards, who is 18 or older, or a high school graduate, whose principles and ideals are symbolic with those for which this sorority stands..."

Admittedly, our National website does not provide much information about our Org, so maybe our chapter website will clear up some stuff for everyone: www.alphagammapbpsi.bravehost.com

Here in Indiana, we have Delta Theta Tau.

I don't know that much about them, but they are fairly big up here and very philanthropic. They put out a calendar every year that a lot of the non-profits get.

It was more than "hey, those ladies look familiar." The opening page of the site was an EXACT copy of A Phi's opening page. It was as if someone would take this site and do nothing more than change the "GreekChat.com" in the top left corner to "FuzzyPuppy.com."

But it's resolved now, so who knows, it could have just been a mixup with the web designer.

I am adding my response to those of my sisters in New York quoted above. I am currently President of one of the Indiana chapters of Phi Beta Psi and although our chapter is more age diverse than Alpha Gamma's chapter, it still works toward the same goals. Our chapter ranges in age from 28 to 73 with the majority of us somewhere in the middle. The initial reason for starting Phi Beta Psi Sorority back in the early 1900's was friendship and promoting friendship among women. In the mid-1900's, the sorority decided to work toward a national project - cancer research. As of this year Phi Bete's have awarded approximately 6 million dollars in cancer research grants. In Indiana we also have a state scholarship project. For more information on this you can check out our chapter website at www.ThetaAlphaZeta.org . Thanks for defending us, Alpha Gamma sisters!
